The developers Gilltown Ltd will retain but resurface the car park and plan to install new lighting and enhanced CCTV.

Bath Cricket Club announced earlier this year that it needed to upgrade its indoor cricket school because its existing facilities no longer meet the minimum requirements set out by the English Cricket Board (ECB).

Club chairman Matt Hankinsm said the redevelopment would signal a new and exciting era at the club.

He said: “We believe the best way to safeguard the club’s future and be able to continue our work with local schools and community is to redevelop some of our site and include an element of private development.

“Maximising our assets in this way will enable us to further develop our work at the club and provide us with a much-needed ECB compliant indoor cricket school.

“For 160 years we have provided an environment that champions cricket and encourages young players to develop on and off the field. This is something we are committed to continuing.

“But this development is not just about Bath Cricket Club, it is about cricket in Bath. Supporting and developing the wider cricket community across the whole of the city.”
